I'm not sure how to re-color

[SeaWarrior1]

I'm trying to change everything that is one color (black) to another (birght blue), only problem is that I have no earthly idea how to correctly use the recolor tool (or whatever other tool i'm supposed to use). I'd appreciate some help thx.

I don't really use the recolor tool, though I pretty sure others might. I use either the settings under "Adjustments" or "Color Tint" and similar effects under "Effects" (I believe).

Here is an easy way without pugins

Select paint bucket. Set flood mode to global. Set the colour you want (say blue) as the primary. Set tolerance to pick up as much grey as you want, then click on some black.

Voila.

Basically all you do is select the recolor tool in the "Tool" sidebar , then set the color you want to change the original to as your primary. Then just paint over the image you would like to recolor

Before...

After...

Don't forget, original colour (the one you want to replace) must be the secondary colour for 'colour replace' to work properly.

If you want to replace all of a colour, global paint is still faster.

If you really want a nice-looking recolor, you might want to check out the Conditional Hue/Saturation plugin. Depending on what you're trying to recolor, it could give you some nice results.
